Indoor Recess Today!

We started our day with morning meeting. After we read the morning message, we had to identify all of the nouns we could find in the message and state whether they were a person, place or thing. As Ella reported the weather to us we talked about all of the ice we saw on our lawns and houses and all of the trees. We found out that water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. After morning meeting we worked in Writer's Workshop. Almost everyone is typing their first draft of "The Relatives Came" into the computers. Mrs. Peckmann met with some students to discuss their writing. Next it was time for reading groups. Mrs. Peckmann met with the Books and Letters groups. After lunch we went to Art. Then it was time for math. We learned how to line up our ruler correctly to measure objects to the nearest inch. We measured many objects in our desks. At the end of the day we finished our discussions about water. We talked about how we can conserve water each day. Homework tonight is measuring in inches. Tomorrow is Day 1. We have Phys. Ed.
